Located in the north-central part of Switzerland at the northwestern tip of Lake Zurich, Zurich is the largest
city of the country with about 1.8million inhabitants living in the
Metropolitan Area. Zurich is particularly known as a leading
global city and

As a lifestyle capital on the water with views of the snow-covered Alps
on the horizon, Zurich offers the unique mix of adventure, pleasure,
nature and culture.

Zurich is an active sporting scene.
The abundance of international sporting facilities make it an
attractive place for sport lovers and several international sport
federations are located in the city including the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) headquarters.
